The Bolts Score With Reading program presented by Spectrum is designed for children in first grade classrooms, to encourage students to read at least an additional 25 minutes per day, during the designated reading period, to help make reading a habit and part of their daily routine. This annual program is now easily facilitated through myON and assists students in becoming "all-star" readers with tiered reading goals and the ability to win great prizes! ThunderBug and Lightning personalities will be on a reading "power play" to reinforce the importance of literacy throughout this campaign.

The process is simple! The "score" of minutes read during the designated time-period is kept and verified through myON, and students are rewarded with prizes upon program completion. Teachers and Media Specialists are also acknowledged for their embracement of the program and for their students reaching group milestones. Additionally, top performing schools and classrooms will receive group prizes.

How the Program Works

As the campaign nears, schools will receive the materials listed below:
